be worn with tailor made costumes.
MOnograms for underwear are embrOid-
cred in long narrow letters on the left
side.
The back Of basques is gradually be-
coming much longer, and may be plain or
shirred, or cut with bias forms.
Lawns, percale, and CoutilIe or jean, as
thick almost as pique, are the cotton fab
RIGS most used by French dressmakers.
The most reliable dressmakers are only
using materials that drape softly and
gracefully. Silks are used, but they must
be supple, not stiff.

sleeves. (Basques are but little worn by
young girls.
Linen cambria or lawn ruffles are now
much worn in neCks and sleeves, These
are hem stitched and are much less ex-
pensive than ruches, because they can be
easily Numbered.
There is tendency to revive the old
fashioned flowing sleeve, with the under
sleeve of Swiss and mule and fine em-
broidery. Many: morning gowns are
made with them, and tea gowns with the
Greek or angel Sleeve.
Young girls party dresses are short
enough to show the foot and bit of the
stocking. The plain silk stockings should
match the darkest color used in the dress
or be black, and the slippers should be
embroidered.
Skirts pleated surplice fashion will be
very fashionable this summer, and dresses
of light wooden material-such as yelling,
barege, etamine, and very fine French

fathers, position fashion, or with short
double square tabs at each side, like a
Russian soldiers coat, or like the jacket
of an artillery officer. Then there are
new peplum basques, the sides of which,
in some instances, reach quite to the foot
Of the dress skirt.
Slippers made of tan undressed kid, the
same quality as used for gloves, are in
favor. They fit to perfection, and have
little bronzed heels. Scarlet Turkish
